Central Hawke’s Bay farmer Michael Gunn along with his wife Patience and their two young boys suffered about $200,000 in loses during Cyclone Gabrielle.
Gunn was one grateful farmer who obtained a free fencing bundle at one of the Rapid Relief Team’s four prior events around the country.
“Every little bit helps. We have come a long way from where we were and a lot of credit for that has to go to RRT,” Gunn said.
“It’s not just about the fencing that they’re handing out. It’s about the free meals and drink, the opportunity to connect and have a yarn with our neighbours.”
